I'm looking to get my first Frog Rod and was wondering what your suggestions would be. I was thinking something 7'3" to 7'6" MH with a Fast tip? Am I heading in the right direction in my thinking? Thanks

Yes you are on track. I use a Dobyns Champion 736. One of the best but there's many other great choices for less.

Yep dobyns 735 or 736 the 6 power rod is quite a big heavier and but can make casting the frog into tight spots a challenge because its so stiff. Might go with the 735 it will be more versatile.

I like a shorter rod for frog fishing.
6'10"Falcon heavy Cajun Baby.

I am with collincountytx on a this one. I like the shorter rod for better target casting.

Really depends on what type of frog fishing you plan on doing. If the budget allows, 3 frog setups are best.

Another vote for the 6'10"Falcon Bucco H Cajun Baby.

7'4" extra heavy. You'll want a very strong rod when you start hooking fish in Lilly pads and thick matted junk. A medium heavy is like bringing toe nail clippers to a tank battle. And 65lb braid.


Edit: Oh.....and if you pick the correct rod, it is possible to get this kind of length and power in a COMBO that weighs less than 10ounces. Including the line and frog. There are a few choices of rods like this that weigh in the mid to low 4 oz range. Add the reel of choice from Lews, Diawa, or Shimano and you're done.

7-7'3 HF....fast reel (7.1:1 or better)...65lb braid

Budget- Dobyns savvy 735

If you want the best....Diawa Steeze frog rod....aint nothing better

I have not found anything I enjoy using more than the Megabass Orochi XX Perfect Pitch rod for my hollow body frogs.

I use a Loomis 844 IMX.

I use all Dobyns and have used the 736 but I prefer the 735 champion. Awesome jig rod too

I use a Dobyns Champion 705 and it works well for me. I had it before the 735 came out.
I have a Lews super duty 8-1 gear ratio reel spooled up with 65# braid.
